Former Dollar General CEO Vasos is back and Wall Street cheers. Shares up sharply_我的网站
一 | Shares of Dollar General are up more than 7% before the opening bell Friday after the discount chain said Todd Vasos will be returning as CEO after a streak of disappointing quarterly profits.The company has missed Wall Street profit projections in four of the five past quarters and shares have fallen nearly 60% this year. The company has also wrestled with a number of labor issues. In July a National Labor Relations Board judge said that Dollar General violated federal labor law and “clearly intended to interfere” with worker rights in efforts to quell unionization at a Connecticut store.Violations from the Dolgen Corp., which operates Dollar General stores, included wrongfully firing an employee and making an implied threat to close the location in Barkhamsted, the NLRB decision read — adding that the company also sent corporate officials to the store and other locations across Connecticut in response to a 2021 union drive.Beyond unionization, Dollar General has faced multiple penalties for store safety over the years — including federal citations for electrical hazards and obstructed fire exits. As of May, the Labor Department’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration had proposed more than $21 million in penalties since 2017 after conducting 240 store inspections nationwide.Vasos stepped down as Dollar General’s top executive in 2022 after seven years. He takes over from Jeff Owen.Under Vasos' leadership, Dollar General expanded its store base by about 7,000 locations, added nearly 60,000 net new jobs, increased annual sales revenue by more than 80%, and more than doubled its market capitalization to approximately $58 billion. "At this time the board has determined that a change in leadership is necessary to restore stability and confidence in the company moving forward,” the company's chairman, Michael Calbert, said in a prepared statement.While saying the switch back to Vasos is not surprising, Citi analyst Paul Lejuez said many of the issues beguiling the company took root under his control. “While many of the issues surfaced shortly after Owen took over the CEO role, we believe many of these challenges had their origins while Vasos was CEO,” said in report published shortly after the leadership change was announced. “We do not believe there is a simple fix.” Dollar General, based in Goodlettsville, Tennessee, expects 2023 net sales growth in a range of 1.5% to 2.5%. Its prior outlook was for sales growth between 1.3% and 3.3%.。 8月23日，乌克兰总统泽连斯基在基辅会见媒体代表时，明确拒绝了提前举行总统选举的呼吁。
二 | 他警告称，在战事持续期间举行选举“对国家来说将是一场海啸”，将导致乌克兰分裂。 “如果我们想摧毁这个国家，那么我们当然可以在这样的战争时期举行选举。
三 | ” 这是被解职的前国防部长费多罗夫公开呼吁举行战时选举后，泽连斯基首次作出正面回应。 上周二（8月18日），乌克兰前国防部长费多罗夫发布了一段疑似竞选宣传片的视频，引起了巨大轰动。在视频中，他批判了乌克兰的腐败，称乌克兰正面临“系统性治理危机”，并模糊地呼吁：尽管俄罗斯正在入侵该国，但需要通过选举来“恢复民主进程”。 泽连斯基的总统任期于2024年5月届满，因战争爆发后乌克兰实施战时状态，目前无法举行选举。因为组织选举需要处理战争障碍，比如前线军人、海外数百万难民或住在敌占区的乌克兰人如何投票等难题。 泽连斯基认为：“在我们目前的条件下，这是不可能的，因为普京根本不愿意考虑任何停火方案。” 根据基辅社会学研究所（KIIS）八月的最新民意调查，只有15%的受访者认为战争结束前应该举行选举。 费多罗夫于今年1月出任防长，7月15日在内阁改组中被解职，此举曾在基辅等多座城市引发抗议。泽连斯基称仍对费多罗夫保持积极态度，“但他要么是自己走错了方向，要么是被人推向了错误的方向”。 费多罗夫的团队向媒体证实，他计划近期前往美国，这一行程可能再次引发外界关于他与泽连斯基政治竞争关系的猜测。返回，查看更多。
